Welcome to our blog!

You’d be surprised – beer is responsible for scientific discoveries, breakthroughs in modern medicine and perhaps the very start of civilization itself... From medieval cellars to modern political chambers, beer has been with us for millennia, sometimes considered a natural source of nutrition and sometimes used as a political tool.

Enjoying a beer with friends or family is an opportunity to create great memories. We are passionate about brewing great beers, but we know that not all consumers make smart drinking choices all of the time.

At AB InBev, we are committed to smart drinking, and we have worked over the last thirty years to raise awareness and take action to reduce the harmful use of alcohol.

Around 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the oceans each year. If current marine pollution trends continue, the oceans will contain more plastic than fish by the year 2050.

These are just two reasons why, on International Recycling Day, Corona announced a partnership to help end marine plastic pollution, one of the biggest threats to the health and survival of the planet’s most important ecosystem – the world’s oceans.

On June 20, AB InBev was the proud sponsor of Makers’ Town, held in Brussels Autoworld. This unique event supported by the European Commission brings together Europe’s “Makers”, a new wave of entrepreneurs and Do-It-Yourself experts, along with business leaders and European policy makers to showcase and share their most innovative ideas.

Every year, the European Commission’s Directorate General for Environment organizes the EU Green Week to debate and discuss European environmental policy. This year the EU has been supporting nature, environment and climate action for 25 years. To celebrate this milestone the LIFE community is organizing a series of events around Europe during May 2017.

This week, we launched the first beer train in Belgium. The train will transport Jupiler by rail between our brewery in Jupille, Wallonia, and the Delhaize distribution centre in Ninove in East Flanders. Once this project runs at full capacity, it will remove the equivalent of 5000 lorries from the roads every year.

On 18 May we had the pleasure to welcome a delegation of the European Commission to our offices for a very successful meeting and tour of the Leuven brewery. The delegation consisted of 15 members of the European Commission’s Directorate General for Environment.

It’s common knowledge that some years produce particularly good wines. Beer enthusiasts are equally aware that it is the ingredients that imbue each brew with its distinctive character. However, climate – rather than simply the weather – is the most important factor that has an impact on these elements.

Here at AB InBev, safety is at the heart of our culture. It ranks before results and targets – before anything else. And today, World Day for Safety and Health at Work, is the perfect time to assess progress across our operations and highlight our safety priorities for the future.

The beer festival calendar traverses the globe and interacts with millions of beer lovers each year. Sampling diverse beers alongside culinary delights and, often, live entertainment is a pastime enjoyed around the world - and 2017 will not disappoint. Here’s what the beer festival world can offer this year…
